The Public Health Promotion and Development Society (PPDS) was founded on October 30, 2020, by visionary leaders Dr. Mohammad Delwer Hossain Hawlader and Dr. Mohammad Hayatun Nabi. Working in collaboration with MPH students at North South University, Bangladesh, PPDS is at the forefront of public health research. Our flagship project investigated the quality of life of COVID-19 patients in Bangladesh, shedding light on the pressing issues faced by the healthcare system in the country.
PPDS envisions a world without health disparities where everyone has access to healthcare, regardless of socio-economic status or geographical location.
PPDS is dedicated to conduct innovative research in the health field. Its primary goal is to address public health issues at national and global levels while promoting ethical research practices.
